INTERVIEW
WITH THE ARTIST - More about her work
When and how did you start in designed jewelry?
Sometimes
in life there are findings and jewelry was one of them. I worked in a centre
for social and labour reinsertion. I asked to help in one of the workshops
during Christmas time, we confectioned necklaces, and I started to learn the
technique, later I became interested in jewelry as a form of artistic
expression. I studied Jewelry designed and now I am finishing a Master of artistic
production, my desire to learn just begun.
What is your motivation? What Materials?
My main
motivation is to express ideas using jewelry as medium. Any material is good. I
like to use found objects, old photographs and glass which is my passion.
Where are your sources of inspiration?
I am
interested mainly the affections of people,
it is the reason I use family photo albums, objects with a story behind,
heard stories, current news. Pain,
anger, desire, love ....to express feelings with an object is fantastic.
What action have you taken to publicize your
work?
My purpose
is not to sell, as I said before, jewelry it is not a way to make money, but a way to express myself. So for me to make the art piece is the
purpose by itself.
Be able to
communicate an idea.
I like to participate in exhibitions and
events like this one to tell my
experiences and to share them with others.
What is the highlight in your career as a
designer jelwelry?
Maybe my
participation and collaboration in Valencia´ Symposium, The Melting Point, as
well as to be part of the exhibition in the Cervantes Institute in Munich , last year.
